remember a year ago, israel negotiated with hamas, empowering hamas while abbas was submitting his first bid a year ago to the security council israel was negotiating with hamas and releasing 1,000 prisoners. every israeli policy, so far since netanyahu was in office four years has been to negotiate whether clearly or under the table with hamas and empower them and ignore abu mazen. hoping a year ago he will have some kind of recognition, some kind of settlement, political settlement. we're talking about the man that always believed in a peace process that was pro-peace process since 1993 when signed. yes, he was desperate but a smart move on his end to gather more palestinian and rally more palestinians and tell them, look, i can achieve for you something through a political and peaceful path. i think what the u.s. is doing today is humiliating more and more abbas. >> so you -- well that -- you seem to think, then, i mean, going off on what p.j. said, this does open the door to peace negotiations? >> i don't know if it opens the door immediately to peace negotiation but it put more pres

very provocative acts by hamas. the israelis need to be convinced hamas is going to stop its rocketing of the israeli population and want to test mohamed morsi. can he deliver a deal? as jamie said, this is a new egypt. and there's no more standoffish relationship with the hamas organization. mohamed morsi has identified with them, supported them throughout this conflict. but then again, mohamed morsi has a relationship, the president of egypt, with the united states of america, with europe, with the international financial institutions. he's the one who needs to facilitate, leverage, pressure, hamas to agree to the cease-fire. and i do agree with jamie, as well. hillary clinton is essential now. the united states is the only country that can put together either a period of calm, deescalation or a full cease-fire. and then hopefully if that is achieved, pick up the initiative and try to reinvigorate discussions between palestinians and israelis. >> one thing this has me thinking about, people complain about the midd
